Overview of your Amboise tour:

In 1516, invited by King Francois I, Da Vinci arrived in the Loire Valley. He became the king's first painter and architect. The king gave him one of his chateaux to stay, le Clos Lucé, situated in Amboise, where he spent his last three years and where he passed away, aged 67. As he expressed in his will, he got buried in the Royal Castle of Amboise. In le Clos Lucé, I will show you Leonardo's intimacy with his bedchamber, his reception hall, his studio and his mind blowing inventions. In the Royal château of Amboise, spectacularly looking over the Loire river, we will discover Da Vinci's tomb. Born and raised in the Loire Valley, licensed tour guide for 25 years, I have collected so much knowledge and anecdotes about Da Vinci and am excited to share them with you. Did you known: - he finished Mona in le Clos Lucé 's studio ? - he invented the helicopter, the parachute, the tank, etc ? - he used a secret passageway to meet with the king ? And many more. . .
